Hey guys, a lot of us Army rotor dudes got together on facebook and decided it would be prudent to put together a website/forum specifically for us. It launched yesterday. We'd love if you guys who have made the jump could post up in there and offer any advice you've got, and for those about to make the leap, there's plenty of places you can contribute as well. We want it to be a single-point resource for RTP, regardless of intended airline.
https://www.helicopterstoairlines.org/

Thanks and good luck with the transition.

Shoot me a PM, it's a secret group since a lot of folks are still in and don't want to face reprisal from their command.

First, there is no reprisal your command can do. Second, you have a terrible command if they try to hinder your well being and professional development.

To each their own, but I would be up front with my command and let them know of my plans so they can plan ahead how it might affect them.

If you've got questions feel free to PM.
Something else to look into is the https://dodskillbridge.com/ program. There are a few SFL/TAP locations that have agreements with Envoy. You have to get your local SFL/TAP program to enter into a letter of agreement with the program you are attempting to participate in (PSA/Piedmont/Envoy, etc.) and you can get up to 6 months to participate in the program while still on active duty. If your SFL/TAP has questions about it, have them contact the SFL/TAP office at West Point.

Skillbridge is a downright train wreck and has been for over a year. Comment threads untouched, questions unanswered. That's an unofficial official program replacing it that the army hasn't spoken much about. Check the images from linkedin I attached here. Apparently she is making it happen.
